Grachan 7,362 Posted July 6, 2016 A big miss is people all trying to work out how the tactical substitiutes would pan out over the next few heats and how the losing side could get the best out of them. Speedway lost a lot when it got rid of the tactical subs. They made the same mistake that many people make - thinking that it was just about 4 blokes on bikes without brakes. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted July 6, 2016 Speed way should look at ice hockey to see how they connect, the windon Wildcats play in front of increasing crowds, good value for money and fan involvement as opposed to those motor cycling robins up on blunsdon hill. Agree with that. Only been to Cardiff to see the devils but the crowd interaction after a game makes speedway laughable. We wondered why everyone was waiting after the game, soon found out!

thrillpool 67 Posted July 6, 2016 I miss the days when Shadders was the Wizard of Shadwell. Does anyone know how often he uses that whistle that he carries around his neck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedway matches lost a lot of interest when the old tac subs were replaced. The spoils of a match are more predictable with the double bubble thingy. Speedway is more than racing, four blokes.. just my opinion - and grachan's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 6, 2016 ........................ and mine. No it isn't your view, so don't try and jump on the bandwagon. People are voicing their APPROVAL of the old tactical substitution rules. Something you have told us you disapproved of. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you like to try again? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New Science 1,059 Posted July 6, 2016 Pretty sure I saw a women in Manchester tonight with an old fashioned football rattle. Who says speedway is stuck in the past.
